Impossible to answer without knowing, bullet weight and muzzle velocity.
Ignoring air resistance (which will allow the bullet to go even farther on the moon than on the earth) the critical factor is how long the bullet takes to reach the ground after leaving the muzzle. For the same horizontally firing height above the surface, the time varies as 1/squarerootofG where G is the acceleration due to gravity. (For a falling object, distance falling S = 1/2 G.t^2)
Now G is 1/6 of its value on earth, so it will travel 2.45 times farther on the moon than on earth. More if you consider air resistance.

It depends on several factors, but a good estimate would be, about a mile.
What is the maximum distance a bullet can travel?
That's a very hard question to answer because it depends on several factors. Bullets from handguns can travel as far as a mile or more.
If you throw a bullet into a fire and it goes off will it travel far?
No. It depends upon the bullet of course, but a handgun bullet usually won't hurt you if it hits you under those conditions. Another answer: Depends on the cartridge: Remember that this is deadly because the bullet and cartridge will go in opposite directions at great speeds. The larger the bullet and powder will determine the velocity and distance.
Does a bullet train travel faster than a bullet?
bullet trains travel at 96.5 percent the speeed of a bullet No it doesn't. A bullet train does around 190mph normally and can reach 275mph. Depending on calibre, a rifle bullet travels at 1,500-2,000mph. So on average, a bullet train travelling at normal speed travels at between 9.5 and 12.6% of the speed of a rifle bullet.
